		<description><![CDATA[Aquascaping started in the 30s or 40s when people used tanks that were made of thick glass and had iron seams. They were very heavy and not at all affordable. People put little or nothing in the tank with the fish, not even filters or pumps to circulate the water!  Eventually people starting putting plants into [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had my kitchen tank set up for over 6 months now and have been trying my hand at an Iwagumi layout. It&#8217;s already grown into a jungle once with Glossostigma and Hairgrass, so I ripped it all out and started over with slower growing Hemianthus callitrichoides and Utricularia graminifolia.  The teardown stirred up so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stem plants are usually seen in the background of the tank. If they're left alone, most will grow to the top of the tank and across the surface or even out of the water!  Because of this, if you're going to keep stem plants you're going to need to trim them at some point.  But each species has unique lighting requirements, nutrient preferences, growth rates, and reactions to trimming which you'll learn as you keep the plant longer. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Runner plants grow by creeping along or just below the surface of the substrate and producing nodes of leaves along the way, which makes most of them ideal ground cover.  Aside from their horizontal orientation, trimming runner plants is a lot like trimming stem plants.  A few example of popular runner plants are Glossostigma Elatenoides, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rosette plants grow leaf stalks that originate from a single point known as the &#8220;crown&#8221; and generally consist of Sword and Cryptocoryne plants. Typically these plants only need to be trimmed when individual leaves become too old and are deteriorating, often covered with algae. Removing these leaves is good for the long-term health of the [...]]]></description>
